Bitcoin For Dummies – What is Bitcoin Betting? Is Bitcoin Betting Legal?

Let me briefly summarize the real basics (if you know bitcoin, just jump to What Is Bitcoin Betting?).
What Is Bitcoin Betting?

Bitcoin For Dummies

Bitcoin (BTC) is a Digital or the first Cryptocurrency as opposed to Fiat Currency we use in our daily life such as USD, EUR & JPY backed by each country’s government.

Peer-to-Peer Decentralized Electronic Cash System (described by unknown inventor “Satoshi Nakamoto” in 2009) is used as a method for online payment. The biggest issue of the digital cash is that unlike the physical notes or coins, it can be copied easily. Traditionally, Centralized entity like Paypal verify all transactions to avoid such double spending. However, Bitcoin’s Peer-To-Peer network enables open source (means public) to ensure the same money will not be used more than once. Simple, but nobody couldn’t establish it before Satoshi, which is so-called Blockchain as an immutable record of historical transactions.

Bitcoin’s price is determined by supply and demand. And as the below Bitcoin price chart (source: Coinbase) indicates, it has shown huge price fluctuation in such short period as 1.5 years between mid 2017 and late 2018 (from $1,000 to the peak $17,000, and becomes a bit stable at around $3,500 as of Feb 2019). Such high level of volatility clearly proves the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies at this stage;

Unlike other financial assets such as company equity, crypt-currency is not supposed to have an intrinsic value to determine the proper price. But many economist try to do it and News BTC summaries Econometric Models estimating the range between $1,080 from Demand Side and $8,700 from Supply Side. I know it is very wide, and it demonstrates how difficult to predict the price, which is obviously the risk of the crypt-currency.

What Is Bitcoin Betting?

Bitcoin Betting is simply betting (or funding to) in Bitcoin at Betting Sites such as Sportsbook & Casino. Thanks to the Bitcoin’s ability to form instantaneous global transactions in a highly-secure and anonymous way, to use bitcoin for betting is a natural movement for betting sites. And many existing sites started accepting bitcoin as other fiat currencies while a lot of bitcoin exclusive gambling sites are also emerging.

It’s said that over $4.5 billion has been wagered through bitcoin sports betting since 2014. Gamblers obviously make the most of the security, efficiency & privacy which can separate accounts from existing banking and e-wallet platforms.
Now, there seems to be over1,600 cryptocurrencies. So although we use Bitcoin as a representative of cryptocurrencies in this report (Bitcoin’s market cap is surely No. 1 with well over 30% share), betting industry is accepting other key cryptocurrencies like below;

Despite the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and blockchain, its underlying technology, will most likely to hold a key to the new age in global finance and it’s worth while exploring how sharp punters exploit the full potential of it and gain risk-free extra income from bitcoin betting.

Is Bitcoin Betting Legal? What About Tax?

Although the legal status varies from state to state & some jurisdictions (such as Argentina and Russia) severely restrict or ban foreign currencies, Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are completely deregulated and majority of the countries don’t make the usage of bitcoin itself illegal. Means, there is basically no restriction on using Bitcoin to fund betting sites (actually any online merchants). In fact, UK Gambling Commission officially views Bitcoin as cash equivalent and started new license condition effective from 31 Oct 2016 (but so far, except Netbet, there are no established UK bookies accepting Bitcoin and many Bitcoin Exclusive Bookies don’t allow UK punters to sign up – No worries, use VPN, why? We will explain later).

The key issue is whether online gambling is legitimate in the jurisdiction you reside and whether the operator holds the relevant license. For this matter, you need to check with the laws and rules of where you live as they also vary by location. However, simply put, except 8 countries in the world (Cyprus, Poland, North Korea, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Brunei & Cambodia), players have little worry about gambling online. For further details, go to How To Make Money From Offshore Sports Betting With 3 Advantage Plays.

When it comes to tax, this is absolutely depending on the jurisdiction. In the UK, any gambling gain is not subject to income tax even Professional Gambler don’t need to even declare (also see further details in the above report). However, you may be liable to CGT (Capital Gain Tax) if your holding bitcoin’s price increases, but only on disposal, check the details in HMRC Policy Paper. Anyhow, given the sensitive nature of the subject, suggest you consult your tax specialist for any cryptocurrencies related decision.

What Are Bitcoin Betting Pros & Cons?

With the level of gambling regulation around the world, digital currencies seem like an obvious fit. As briefly said before, more and more online sportsbooks (especially in Caribbean region) are accepting bitcoin, and the bitcoin exclusive bookmakers that are assure your anonymity have been mushrooming. Besides, bitcoin exclusive betting exchange like Betfair & Matchbook have also been established, which allows you to pursue matched betting & sports arbitrage.

Given The High Security Nature Of Bitcoin Transaction, Anonymous / Pseudonymous Sign-Up Condition (basically no boring KYC procedures, many of Bitcoin operators & betting sites don’t ask you anything), Bitcoin Betting Sites enable any players even from the countries where online gambling is prohibited or still legally grey area such as USA to start it.

Pros for Bitcoin Betting

The below Video prepared by Sportsbet.IO (see the details later) will give you a good summary of the benefits of Bitcoin Betting;

One More Pros – Competitive Betting Environments

On top of the low transaction cost of BTC, the platforms have much lower costs when it comes to developing a cashier section. All these reduces service costs, which allows sportsbooks to provide competitive betting environment. Means, you may often find better odds with lower margins as well as more generous promotional offers in top bitcoin betting sites.

Cons For Bitcoin Betting

On the other hand, there are following 3 cons.

High Volatility, Uncertainty & Scam Risk

Firstly, as you saw the rapid price fluctuation before, Bitcoin is volatile. Its price bounces up and down every day because it’s still largely traded speculatively. The price may become stable eventually, but at this stage, it is still high risk.

Considering the above 2 factors, it’s wise not to keep a lot of cryptocurrencies other than betting unless you are a speculative trader.

Lastly, a lot of people may view anonymity & un-traceablity as an advantage, but naturally it will invite a lot of rogue sites. Given the lack of legislation and ease of scamming people, it’s inevitable to make careful DD (Due Diligence) before you chose bitcoin betting sites. We are listing around 20 Bitcoin Betting Related sites in this report. All of them established at least good tracking record (of course past performance can’t guarantee any equivalent future) and have best in class reputation in various forums & review sites, like Nitrogen Sports highly rated by SBR video below;

1. Buying Bitcoin

Firstly, you need to purchase them to begin with. To do this you need a Bitcoin Wallet / Exchange where you buy bitcoins to fund Bitcoin Betting Sites. Bitcoin wallet is exactly like Paypal where you load money onto it. You can use it for shopping or sending to / receiving from other people’s wallets. The only difference is that the money is not kept in your fiat currencies such as USD, EUR & GBP but is converted into Bitcoins. And you can’t physically withdraw your Bitcoin but you need to exchange it back to your original or preferred fiat currency.

We list following 2 established Bitcoin Wallet / Exchange;

Coinbase (Not Anonymous)

Coinbase is said to be “The Most Beginner Friendly Bitcoin Exchange” in the world since it was founded in 2012, located in San Francisco USA. If you reside in USA and store in a USD wallet (on top of BTC wallet), your fund is insured by FDIC in case Coinbase becomes insolvent.

Changelly (Almost Anonymous)

Changelly is one of the most trusted anonymous bitcoin exchange / wallet founded in 2013, and currently licensed in Malta.

Changelly’s trading algorithms are integrated into large and reputable trading platforms, like Binance & Bittrex, so they can pick & provide the best exchange rate possible in the span of milliseconds.

You need to submit only e-mail address and nothing else, and you can use credit / debit card to buy Bitcoin and sell & withdraw into them.

Watch the below video prepared by BetOnline (Traditional Bookmaker that accepts Bitcoin, see the details later), which explains the standard procedure using the above Coinbase;

2. Identifying Bitcoin Gambling Operators (Sportsbook / Casino)

There are plenty of Bitcoin bookmakers on the market. However, as cautioned, you need to be careful for selecting the reputable bitcoin betting sites. We are listing both bitcoin exclusive & conventional bookmakers accepting bit coin later. Suggest try to use them first rather than shopping around to take other less known sites.

Funding Bitcoin To Betting Site

Using Bitcoin to fund your accounts and place your bets is basically the exact same as if you funded your account with cash or a bank card. However, bear it in mind that;

Conventional Bookmaker Accepting Bitcoin: You will place bet in your chosen fiat currency like $ / € / £ and they just accept BTC as one of the depositing method, means although you fund BTC into Sportsbook, your BTC will be automatically converted into your fiat currency in the account.

Bitcoin Exclusive Bookmaker: Your BTC funding from wallet will be deposited & stored in BTC without any conversion, and you will bet in BTC in their platform.

So, we show you how these work in video;

Conventional Bookmaker Accepting Bitcoin – BetOnline Another Video

In this video, they use Coinnomi BTC Wallet rather than Coinbase though, doesn’t matter, the process is the same.

Placing Bet with Bitcoin

When it comes to placing bet, it’s again Bitcoin exclusive bookmakers are no different than the conventional online sportsbooks. For Conventional Bookies accepting BTC, as explained above, you will bet in your fiat currency so everything is exactly the same. You can locate a list of sports events on their website, select the one you want which will be shown in the betslip and finally place the bet.

Bitcoin Betting Exchange

We are starting to use Bitcoin Betting Exchange as part of Bitcoin Betting Sites since we need to use it to accomplish advantage plays. Note, don’t confuse it with Bitcoin Exchange as we introduced in 1. Buying Bitcoin. Bitcoin BETTING Exchange is the one like Betfair, Matchbook & Smarkets where you bet against your fellow punter instead of against the house with 2 sides of “back” and “lay” bet. Back means you bet on a bet’s outcome to happen while lay means that you want the bet’s outcome Not to happen. In case you are not familiar with how it works, suggest take a look at Bet Exchange – Ultimate Guide To Use Betfair & Competitions Most Profitably.

Anyhow, just watch the below video prepared by BetBTC (Exclusive Bitcoin Betting Exchange – see the details later) to know how both back & lay works in BetBTC;

The key point here is how to make Risk-Free Advantage Plays namely Matched Betting / Value Betting. Again, the basic concept is exactly the same as what we do in traditional bookmakers & betting exchange, which we will demonstrate how to do by using the real examples later. Just in case, you’re not familiar with such concepts, suggest take a look at;

Withdrawing BTC to your BTC Wallet and converting into your fiat currency to receive in your bank account / credit or debit card is exactly the opposite process of what you have done in the above 1. – 3. Anyhow, watch the summary video using BOVADA sportsbook (see it details later) as below;

Outside UK / Ireland and Europe, many advantage gamblers have been frustrated by lack of enough number of soft bookies coupled with the inaccessibility to Betting Exchanges (especially for US punters). Means, they missed the opportunities of Matched Betting. Don’t worry, we show you how Bitcoin Betting will pave the way for everyone in the world.

Before, moving further, just get familiar with the following 2 basics related to Bitcoin Betting;

Secondary, you need to use Decimal Odds Format (European) to make matched betting because Betting Exchange use Decimal Odds and Matched Betting Calculator is set based on Decimal Odds. You can use Odds Converter.

But just briefly, Matched Betting is all about exploiting bookmaker’s bonus such as Sportsbet.IO Welcome Offer of “Make a deposit and place your first qualifying bet on any sport and you’ll receive x3 your stake as a free bet! “. Remember, you need to go through T&C for each offer. Yes I know it’s boring stuff, but every offer would require different conditions. Therefore, it’s important to understand key requirements to avoid any unpleasant surprise down the road. Sports.IO says “Place a bet on any sport (can be pre-live or live, single or multi) of EXACTLY mɃ 2 (µɃ 2,000) / €10 / USD 10 — with odds over 1.50, Receive a mɃ 6 (µɃ 6,000) / € 30 / USD 30 — free bet within 48hrs ” . The bold parts are important, they also accept fiat currencies and you need to select the event with over 1.5 odds, then you will get x3 Free Bets. With these conditions, matched betting is Essentially Doing;

2 transactions of Back (bet on win) USD10 on Team A with 1.5< odds at Sportsbet.IO & Lay (bet on NOT win, means both lose & draw like football match case) appropriate USD amount (it can be automatically calculated by Free Software) with the closest odds to back odds on the same Team A at Betting Exchange such as Betfair or Matchbook so that you cover all outcomes.

No matter what the event’s result will be, your losing & winning will cancel out each other. In the real practice, usually 2 bets are not perfectly offset due to the odds difference & exchange commission therefore you make a small loss called Qualifying Loss.

However, now you receive USD30 Free Bet. What you need to do is repeating the exact same process but using the free bet for the back bet at Sportsbet.IO. Then, this time the stake you bet at Sports.IO is Free Bet (not your money but free money), therefore it (free bet value – qualifying loss) will become your net profit. Usually at least 80% of the bonus value can be extracted as a pure profit.

Success factor is how to minimize the qualifying loss by selecting the Team whose odds gap (between Sportsbet. IO & Betting Exchange) is the narrowest.

The conventional bookies we discuss are Caribbean Bookies that accept US Players. As already explained, you can bet in your fiat currencies in these bookies, therefore you can lay in conventional betting exchanges like Betfair / Matchbook or in Betbrokers / Betfair White Labels.

* For US Citizens or anybody who are restricted by these exchanges, we will show how Bitcoin Betting Exchange can be used in the next section, which is really a good value of bitcoin betting.

Betonline Welcome Bonus T&C

So, you get 100% deposit bonus up to $1,000 which require x14 Rollover (same as WR: Wager Requirement), means if you receive full $1,000 bonus you need to bet $28,000 wager before you can withdraw anything from your account. Sounds hefty? Yes, but actually no need to be intimidated. You have 30days to complete this rollover and no restriction on odds.

At this moment in time, the best event is Bundesliga Leipzig vs Frankfurt with 98.94% odds match, means when you back & lay this event (on Leipzig) you will lose 1.06% regardless of the outcome.

Just recall $28,000 is the amount we have to rollover. And remember you can find this level of odds matching (98% – 102%, over 100% is arbing condition) almost anytime, so let’s simulate how the final result will be if we bet total $28,000 with the similar conditions;

So, we will loose $294.74 (forget about the £ currency unit being displayed, it’s just because UK software), but $1,000 is a bonus, means $1,000 – $294.74 = $705.76 is your pure profit (Betdaq commission shows 0% because Oddsmonkey offer Zero commission deal, if we add 2% standard commission, the net profit will be down to $560, but still good). It’s fantastic for Risk-Free Extra Income, isn’t it?

Simply put, what we do is laying lower than required. Why? Because once our account balance in Betonline becomes 0, no more rollover is required, finish. Assuming our initial account balance is $2,000 ($1,000 own deposit + $1,000 bonus), we bet full $2,000 on a single event. By making under lay, if we lose (lose at Betonline) our loss will be higher but the rollover is finished. But if we win (win at Betonline), the loss is lower or even we will add profit to move into the next rollover round. See the below calculation;

By laying $1,788.65 rather than standard $1,978.95, our result will be $211.35 loss (means $1,000 – $211.35 = $788.65 net profit as our final profit) when we lose at Betonline. However, we add profit of $150.22 to move to the next bet if we win at Betonline. So, we can repeat this until we lose all the balance in Betonline or complete the rollover.

Use Bitcoin Betting Exchange

Now, let’s move to laying in Bitcoin Betting Exchange case. For those who can’t access to conventional betting exchanges like US punters, Bitcoin Betting Exchange is the best solution.

Since there is no odds matching software that cover these bitcoin exchanges, we have to search the opportunity manually. After I quickly look around the major soccer markets, backing 1.75 on Barcelona at Betonline & laying 1.757 on Barcelona at Fair Lay in Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona match is a reasonably close odds as below;

And

Let’s simulate the profits by assuming the maximum back stake of $28,000 again to complete the rollover;

Click The Image To Enlarge

We are losing $141.64, means finally we will get $1,000 – $141.64 = $858.36 profits, not bad, is it?

What you should remember here is you have to bet in BTC in Fair Lay, so you have to convert the above lay stake of $27,928.18 into BTC or mBTC. As introduced before, use software to convert;

Therefore, 7,661.4005 mBTC should be the lay amount you will bet in Fair Lay.

Bear it in mind that Bitcoin is very Volatile, thus you will always expose yourself to the Exchange Risk during the period you hold BTC. It may work favorably or unfavorably, which is the gambling part in this matched betting process unless you’re a cryptocurrency expert & have enough confidence to predict the future price accurately.

Matched Betting Real Practice – Bitcoin Exclusive Bookmaker

Lastly, let’s see how we can construct matched betting among Bitcoin Exclusive Bookmaker. One of the best sports bonus site is CloudBet that offers “Join Now To Claim 5BTC Bonus”, which sounds great. As usual, we need to carefully check T&C before start doing anything;

Then, we have to know how we receive the loyalty point, which is;

Looks not simple. Anyway, in order to simulate how profitable this deal would be via matched betting, I just quickly searched opportunities among Cloudbet and Fairlay (Exchange) & BetBTC (Exchange) and found the Tottenham vs Leicester City instantly as below;

&

Backing Leicester at 5.86 at Cloudbet while laying at 5.9 at BetBTC sounds good matched betting opportunity for relatively long odds (I search longer odds event because it looks advantageous to accumulate loyalty point based on their T&C). Assuming we back 100 mBCT, then the qualifying loss would be;Again, don’t be bothered by £ unit displayed in the above calculator, just consider it as 4mBCT loss. Then, how can this be translated into the loyalty point and eventually the cash bonus? Their T&C says Loyalty points = stake (in mBTC) x price score (up to 1) The price score is the square root of the odds minus one. Since we stake 100 mBTC (0.1 BTC) with the odds of 5.86, then Loyalty points = 100 x (√5.86 – 1) = 142.1 So, what will this be the cash bonus, 142.1 / 800 = 0.181 point and 0.178 x 10 mBTC = 1.78 mBTC

Conclusion

As repeatedly cautioned, you need to carefully check T&C of each offer to determine if that offer provides you with positive value.

The cashback condition of both Cloudbet & BetBTC is quite tough, thus the matched betting between these 2 will not be worth pursuing.

The above doesn’t mean we should abandon Cloudbet bonus. Since BetBTC’s 4% commission is a big factor, when good opportunity with Fair Lay (commission is 0.25%) is found, it would be +EV.

BetBTC’s bonus can also be exploit by making matched betting with conventional bookmakers in the way we already explained in the previous section.

Sports Arbitrage

There are a lot of arbing opportunities among Bitcoin Betting sites as well, and when we look around, small arbitrage opportunities like below can be found regularly ;&

The biggest issue at this stage is that there is no qualified software that cover these bitcoin betting sites. You can manually search the opportunities but practically it is not worth your time. Given the extremely short-lived arb opportunities, your effort & time will not be paid off without software. So, until the time the high quality software like RebelBetting starts covering bitcoin betting sites (note that RebelBetting already cover almost all Caribbean Conventional Bookies we list here ), suggest you take an opportunistic approach.

Having said that, the following 4 Guides may help you understand the basic & advanced techniques do more efficient arbing activities;

So far, we have discussed the advantage play with hedge, therefore they are risk-free but the size of the profit from each bet is limited due to the hedging nature. However, the value betting without hedge we will discuss now is not free but bigger profits with much less risk than normal sports betting. Why? See the below explanation;

“The House Always Wins” is the standard saying in the gambling industry. It’s simply based on the fact that the bookmakers / casinos set marginal edge over the players. Means what the bookies pay out to customers is always smaller than the actual chance of the event happening. As a result they will make guaranteed money in long term even they lose in occasional huge jackpot. Why? Because they own a mathematical edge, called House Edge in Casino & Over-round in Sports Betting. Value Betting, on the contrary, is the player’s ability to identify such mathematical edge against a bookmaker or another user on the exchange. Simply put, in Sports Betting, when the selection’s probability of happening is less than it should be, namely Under-round condition, then it offers value and we will not lose but make significant profits in the long run.

We achieve big profits by identifying value bets via Software, Top Tier Tipster and System. We will use ZCode System which can best fit for Bitcoin Betting & Worldwide Players including US punters to share the safest model of value betting in bitcoin betting sites.

In the meantime, we show you a safety model of how & how much you can earn from ZCode System as follows;

ZCode System Value Bet Instruction with A Model Example

The best way to understand this fantastic system is going through the above full review documents, where you can find the specific step-by-step process. However, just let me quickly share the safe model of value betting as an example, which includes basic money management & expected profit from ZCode System.

Money Management – Decide Your Betting Unit

Let’s assume your initial bank is $2,000.

Allocate 1% of your bank for your each bet, means $20 / bet. Nothing is set on stone with this allocation, but if you’re are a newbie, this is very safe approach. So, $20 is your 1 Betting Unit.

Chose The Systems & Place Bet

Let’s use Top Performing Auto System Ranking, and say you follow the current top system (based on the last 3 months active records), which is Zet System with around 39% ROI.

Means you can expect $7.8 profit from every 1 Unit ($20) bet for long-term (don’t get me wrong, this is an expected value in long-term, in short-term you may face losing streak due to the variance). The suggested tip varies 0.5 – 5 units based on the confidence on each event.

Expected Profit

If you place 60 units/month (average 2 units/day), you expect $468 profit by risking $1,200, 60% of your total bank every month.

If you get 75% discount of ZCode subscription (go to the page of Z Code 75% Permanent Discount Opportunity & check if the link is currently activated) your net profit will be around $420 / month. 21% return against your total bank of $2,000 or 35% return against the fund you risked.

Bear it in mind, the suggestion of units/stake differs from each system or expert’s picks. This is by far the safest profit model. It is based on the money management of 1% betting unit by risking 60% of your total bank, means your 40% of your total bank is completely intact & treat it as a reserve.

If you increase 1 unit from 1% to 2%, the return will be double but so as the risk. Same as increasing the units you place/month. Simply, the return corresponds to the risk proportionally.

You can withdraw the profit every month by keeping the original bank or you can re-invest your profit. In 3 months, your bank would be well over $3,000 from $2,000. Then your 1 Unit will have become $30 thus the monthly profit will be $654, 56% profit growth compared to the 1st month. The burden of your subscription fee will get smaller & smaller, and you will be amazed to see the power of compounding investment.

Stick To The System For A While

Importantly, once you select the system, stick to it for a while. Never change just because you face loosing streaks which is a formula of failure. You can’t always win, loosing is inevitable, but if the system you choose is top rated, you will be profitable at the end of the day.

And, if you want to use Nitrogen Sports, watch the below quick video to grab how it works, and don’t forget to convert your betting unit into BTC using BTC Price Convertor;

Best Bitcoin Betting Sites Lists

Now, let’s list up the best Bitcoin Betting Exchange & Bookmakers. These sites have been selected based on the industrial reputation & our members’ feedback on security, user-interface & smooth withdrawal etc.

BTC Exclusive & Conventional Bookies Accepting BTC

As we have already defined & discussed, there are two types of Bitcoin gambling operators.

BTC Exclusive Betting Site

BTC Exclusive Betting Sites consists of platforms that work exclusively with BTC ( & other cryptocurrencies). There are a few Hybrid sites that also accept fiat currency as seen in the matched betting example. You can secure high level of privacy due to the anonymous or pseudonymous sign-up. Almost all sites don’t do KYC process, even no name required, and many request just e-mail verification. Each site has own country restriction policy and set geo-blocking, UK players will encounter this block quite a lot. Don’t worry, use VPN (no need to shop around VPN, This is Surely The Best Value For Money, Why? See This Report) and you will not be asked for KYC at later stage unless drastic legislation change occurs in the future. Thus, theoretically, anybody in the world can sign up & bet.

Conventional Bookies Accepting BTC

The other type is traditional fiat currency bookmakers that simply has implemented BTC & other cryptocurrencies as one of the many payment options in their cashier section. All the bookmakers we list here are from our separate report of List of 20 World Best Online Bookies Without Account Restriction. So, unlike the UK & European Bookies, Caribbean Bookies hardly restrict your account (can’t guarantee lately though) and basically all of them (except one) accept US players.

The bottomline is that the betting sites you see in the below list accept almost all players everywhere from the world and they will enable you to make significant amount of Risk-Free Extra Income from Matched Betting and Value Betting With Positive EV.

Bitcoin Exclusive Betting Exchanges

Top Conventional Sportsbooks Accepting Bitcoin

Now, we are listing Conventional Bookmakers that also accept Bitcoin. The following general rules apply to all bookies here;

Unlike Bitcoin Exclusive Betting sites, this is a traditional bookmakers, so prepare for going through KYC, no anonymous here.

The process for deposits and withdrawals is the same as any other Bitcoin transaction explained before. Therefore, you’ll simply need to obtain each bookmaker’s wallet address from the site’s Deposit page, open your own wallet, and send your preferred amount of Bitcoin, of which minimum amount is required $10 – 25 depending on bookmaker. When it comes to wait times, usually less than 15-minute to validate transaction blocks and add them to the blockchain.

For Bitcoin withdrawals, minimum amount is set around $10 – 50 and the maximum limit is $1,000 – No Limit (5Dimes), and 48-hour wait seems to be the standard, generally much quicker than other methods.

No fees of any kind are charged to Bitcoin deposits & withdrawal but BetOnline charges 2 percent fee on the total withdrawal amount.

Needless to say, only users who have deposited using Bitcoin can take advantage of the withdrawal option to prevent money laundering.

Conclusion & Suggested Action Plans

The number of Bitcoins to ever be issued is limited to 21 million,so it cannot be churned out like fiat currencies and poured into economy. Bitcoin volume growth is to some extent predictable. So, Bitcoin is not subject to inflation, and it’s a good idea to add this asset class into your financial portfolio as a part of diversification strategies.

But, allow me to reiterate that Bitcoin is very volatile seen from the below chart . According to SFOX,

The standard deviation of BTC’s daily returns — a measure of its historical volatility — has been as high as 15.645% over the last 8 years. In contrast, fiat currency’s 30-day volatility averages around 0.5%-1.0%, while gold’s averages around 1.2%. SFOX

However, the good news is that the volatility has been decreasing and the price has become stable. And, as said at the beginning, the current price seems to be the low side from supply & demand analysis. Therefore, as long as you keep aware of this volatility risk and take cautious approach (basically not hold too much cryptocurrency in your portfolio), making extra money risk-free via advantage play in bitcoin betting sites would be very wise move at this stage.
